Chapter 347: Hundred Days Banquet, Proud of the Females
On May 22, Yun Anhao 100-day banquet.
The Marquis Mansion of Yunjun was very grand, and it had already begun to prepare for it before Yun Jingning brought his wife and children to Beijing, and the bronzing and wealth posts had already been sent out.
From the attitude of the Marquis of Yunjun's mansion, all the provinces in the capital knew that Lin Yanniang's mother was a granddaughter-in-law recognized by the Yun family.
It's just that the rumors that have been circulating in Beijing recently have let everyone know that not everyone in the Yun family accepts such a poor daughter-in-law.
It's just that when Yun Jingning was the general of Zhenbei, Lin Yanniang was also given the same order, and I heard that there was a reward, and when she entered the palace to thank her, she was rewarded with qinqi, calligraphy and painting.
This is the attitude of the emperor.
These days, many people are watching the excitement and watching, but they don't dare to send their noble daughter to the county lord of Huichun.
But on the day of the banquet in the Yunjun Marquis' Mansion, there were still many wives in charge who came to visit with their daughters.
Because they are all very curious, what kind of woman is the third son of the Yun family, who asked the general of the northern army and the general of the imperial seal of Zhenbei, to marry back.
Just because of the grace of saving lives?
There are many ways to repay the grace of saving lives, and you can promise a lifetime?
There are too many doubts, and they all want to see is believing.
This day is still the day of the last dynasty, the Marquis of Yunjun and they all went to the court, the lord of Huichun has not returned to the house, according to the people from the eldest princess's mansion to spread the news that he is sick again, and he is recuperating and is not suitable to go out.
Therefore, today's banquet is mainly for the old marquis, the old marquis, and the second lady in Zhang Luo.
Yun Jingning and Lin Yanniang were also preparing their plans.
There are many pomegranate trees planted in the garden, and at this time the flowers are blooming, forming a small forest, standing on the side of the Qushui Bridge in the distance, it is a unique scenery.
A stage was set up next to the pomegranate forest, and there was a spacious flower gallery opposite for people to sit and watch the play.
And the road leading to various places is also lined with pots of splendid roses into flowers, and two steps away is planted gardenias, the scenery is beautiful, and the road is full of flowers.
There is also a lotus pond in the center of the garden, which is the time when the lotus leaves are first blooming and the greenery is green, and the red carp raised under the lotus leaves also swing in a circle of bright water color.
Rockeries, stone pavilions and flower galleries dot the place, and there are bamboo forests in the corners, and clusters of flowering orchids can be seen everywhere in the forest.
These are the scenery that the Yun family has rearranged for today, Yun Jingning is very satisfied, as long as the family attaches importance to his wife and children, he is very happy.
He is injured, and he hasn't been to the court for the past few days, let alone today?
He led the Lin family around early in the morning, and after coming back for breakfast, he went outside to Zhang Luo.
The little ones couldn't stay idle, and went out with Yun Liuyun Qi, and Yun Liuyun Qi was there, so they weren't afraid of any problems.
Some relatives and ladies from various provinces arrived early, first went to Qingfeng Hall to greet Mrs. Hou, and then walked in the garden, and when the gong started, they would also come to watch the play.
Lin Yanniang has been following Mrs. Lao Hou with her child in her arms, meeting with every guest who comes to visit, which can be regarded as getting to know each other, which will facilitate her to walk in the capital in the future.
After that, she doesn't need to entertain anyone, she has her own second aunt, eldest sister-in-law, and second sister-in-law to entertain, she just needs to behave gently and behave decently.
The Yun family was thoughtful and protected her well, which moved her heart and determined to behave well.
In the morning, before noon, some people came to the feast, and the huge garden became more lively.
The flower gallery where the female dependents were located was so that no one was intruding, and everyone went to hang out elsewhere or greet the Yun family.
The Yunfu maids and maids who come and go are busy.
It wasn't until the arrival of the eldest princess that the old lady took Lin Yanniang to the garden, greeted the eldest princess and Guo Juma with the old princess, and glanced behind them.
"Huichun contracted the wind and cold, dizziness and coughing all the time, the imperial doctor said not to go out of the house and need to recuperate, I thought about not being sick to the child, so I didn't let her come over, and asked my mother to forgive me."
The eldest princess's posture was very low, and this explanation was so bad that people could say anything, so Mrs. Hou had to smile and said politely: "It's hard to be the county lord, let her have a good life." ”
The eldest princess was embarrassed, but she had to laugh, and looked at Lin Yanniang, who had just held the child and saluted herself, and looked at her child who was looking cute, and her heart couldn't help but soften.
This child is too much like Yun Jingning when she was a child, as a grandmother, she can't do it if she is cold to her grandson's son.
"My great-grandson has been 100 days old, and this day looks like a look, and he has become more and more lively and cute after a few days." The eldest princess reached out and shook the child's little hand, and immediately instructed the grandmother next to her to give the gift.
In addition to a gold-inlaid jade longevity lock, there is also a box of six night pearls and a pair of purple jade Ruyi.
What was prepared for Lin Yanniang was a small box of various gemstones, or fist-sized, goose-egg-sized, or egg-sized, which was considered a big deal.
Lin Yanniang naturally would not refuse the refusal of the elders, and immediately hugged the child and squatted down to thank her.
The eldest princess saw that she was wearing a pomegranate red dress, and her appearance was beautiful and a little bright, although her appearance was not as delicate as that of the noblewoman in Beijing since childhood, she did not look shabby.
Her demeanor was decent, and she had the emperor's support behind her, so she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
"The Lin family is a spirited person, and in the future, we must cherish the blessings, teach our husbands and children in the Yun family, and do a good job as Tianyao's virtuous helper." The eldest princess smiled and admonished.
"Yes, follow my grandmother's teachings." Lin Yanniang didn't care what people meant by this, and immediately responded obediently.
"Hurry up, don't scare the child." The eldest princess hurriedly ordered with a smile.
Lin Yanniang stood up, Yun Anhao seemed to like her great-grandmother, and grinned at her and fluttered a few times.
The eldest princess herself also gave birth to children, and now she is also full of children and grandchildren, and she immediately smiled sincerely when she saw this.
"Mother-in-law, look, isn't this little guy exactly the same as Tianyao when he was a child? He's a pleasing master. ”
"Haha, isn't it, so you know how to please your elders, and it's amazing to grow up, I'm afraid it's the same as his father, a human elf."
Mrs. Lao Hou couldn't smile from ear to ear, and when she talked about the children's scriptures, the atmosphere suddenly became a lot more harmonious, Lin Yanniang only laughed on the side, and she didn't talk much.
Following the eldest princess was Guo Ruiyu, who was staring at Lin Yanniang with indignant eyes at this time, and suddenly said, "Lin, I don't know if there is any practice recently?" ”
"You call me Lin?" Lin Yanniang looked at Guo Ruiyu with a light smile.
"Don't be unreasonable." The eldest princess immediately glanced at Guo Ruiyu.
Guo Ruiyu pouted and blessed Lin Yanniang reluctantly, and said again: "Third Young Lady Yun, I don't know if you have practiced the piano recently?" ”
"Ruiyu went back and thought about it again and again, and found that the Guan Shanyue and the mountains and flowing water you played, whether it was rhythm or rhyme, always had a different taste, and I wanted to listen to it again, I don't know if I can teach it?"
"And that kind of thing?" The eldest princess glanced at Guo Ruiyu in surprise, and then looked at Lin Yanniang, as if she also wanted to wait for the puzzle to be solved.
"People in the mountains and wilderness, people in the market, and people in the boudoir will naturally have different experiences and feelings about the same thing."
Lin Yanniang explained simply, and said not much after speaking.
Want to hear her play it again? She has already given it verbally.
Guo Ruiyu looked at her with an unwilling face, and mocked: "So, I am in the boudoir of the world, and I will never be able to learn your tune?" ”
"Hehe, everyone is different, why does Miss Guo want to learn from others?" Lin Yanniang looked at Guo Ruiyu with the eyes of a noisy child.
One sentence made Guo Ruiyu blush.
"Having said that, Yan Niang, your piano skills are really good, I wonder if I will have the opportunity to hear you play the piano again today?" The eldest princess hurriedly relieved her niece and granddaughter, and looked at Lin Yanniang with a smile.
"Back to my grandmother, when the banquet is held, Yan Niang will play three songs for the guests to help Yaxing, which can be regarded as a response to some rumors in the market recently."
Lin Yanniang explained calmly.
"That's very good." The eldest princess hurriedly said.
"There are rumors in the market, my grandmother has also heard some of them, because they involve Tianyao's mother, so they have sent someone to investigate, but I don't know who spread them out with many mouths, and they have been spread around."
"There are many good things in the world, and it is not easy to arrest people who have many mouths, so as not to make people say even worse things, after all, it is not easy to block the mouth of leisure."
The eldest princess's explanation was naturally also said to Mrs. Hou, saying that this matter was not spread by the eldest princess's mansion, and her attitude was also very clear.
Mrs. Lao Hou hurriedly said: "People say their own words, the daughter-in-law of our military marquis mansion is protected by the military marquis mansion, and she is not afraid of that little gossip." ”
She knew in her heart that she didn't care too much, otherwise she would have to point to the daughter of the county lord of the other family to come out and confront her?
Even the 100-day banquet that does not return home under the pretext of illness and ignores the relatives and grandchildren, what is it to go out and ruin the reputation of the daughter-in-law and put yourself on the side of the victim?
It's just a small thing.
The group also went to the stage while talking, and met with many female relatives, and they were all greetings for a while, so it was not lively.
Guo Ruiyu also immediately arrived with a group of boudoir ladies, chattering and not knowing what they were talking about, but Lin Yanniang noticed that the eyes of those women when they looked at her were disdainful and curious.
She didn't care either, until the child began to cry, she hugged the child and retreated, and went back to Jingxuan directly.
Later, Yun Jingning came back and took out his son, who had eaten and drunk and cleaned up, and handed it over to Yun Junhou to take to meet the male guests, so that everyone could also take a look at the new grandson of the Yun family.
A little later, Yun Jingning came back to pick up Lin Ping'an and Lin Song's family and went out, and Lin Yanniang also cleaned up and hugged the qin.
Yun Jingning played with a jasper flute in her hand, looked at her with a smile, although she didn't speak, the enthusiasm in her eyes was undisguised.
Lin Yanniang glanced at him and walked to her mother's side.
Lin Ping'an and Lin Song listened to her play the piano this morning, and their hearts were full of pride, and they were not so uneasy about the big scene they were about to face.
The girl is right, this is a battle, a battle that their family can't back down, since they have chosen this man, they have to face it with him.
Even the timid and introverted Lin Song is walking at this time, full of energy, and being a mother is strong, which is probably what she is feeling at this time.
When they came to the garden, they met a group of people who had come back to look for them.
Lin Can, Lin Jie, and Zhou Qing and Zhou Yang have long lost the excitement and anxiety they had when they first entered the mansion, and accompanied by Yun Wuyun and Qin Zhan, they have already adapted to life here.
The banquet was held in the Wanshou Hall, between the garden and the front yard, which was large enough to accommodate 100 seats, and there were large windows open on all sides to let the sun shine brightly and warmly.
The breeze slowly enters through the doors and windows, and the sound of nearby pine waves can be heard.
At this time, most of the guests were divided into men and women, and were brought into the tables on both sides by the welcoming maid and the maid to sit down.
Yun Jingning hugged her little grandson and greeted the male guest, and the female guest was personally entertained by Mrs. Lao Hou and her second daughter-in-law, all the houses were seated, and some young guests were playing in the garden and were also on their way.
When the guests who sat down saw the group of people led in by Yun Jingning, they all looked sideways.
With so many people in such a large venue, Lin Ping'an suddenly paused, but Lin Song comforted him in a low voice: "It's just a flowing water banquet in the village, and the whole village came to eat that day, and there are also young and old, but these people are dressed decently." ”
Lin Ping'an didn't expect his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to think like this, and came to comfort him, he was surprised and funny for a while, so he nodded and raised his head, and the couple walked behind their daughter and son-in-law.
Yun Jingning and Lin Yanniang walked side by side, he held the bamboo flute behind him in one hand and held her waist with the other hand, while she held the piano in both hands, with elegant demeanor, and was not afraid of such a scene.
Everyone was looking at them and their party, because Lin Yanniang was too eye-catching, so the people who looked at Lin Ping'an and his party all stared at her, but they didn't care about the discussion just now.
Is there anything important about General Zhenbei's Yue family? Everyone knows that the general's wife's maiden family is a low-income family, and no matter how much she looks, she can't see a decent one.
What does it mean that the general's wife is holding the piano?
For a while, many people were interested, and the discussion mentioned the matter of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Even if the people in the palace that day would not spread anything, how could the emperor hide the fact that he gave the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting?
They were all people walking in the court, and many families knew about it that day.
At this time, Yun Jingyang came over and led the Lin family to a main table, and there were no male and female guests, so the Lin family sat by themselves, and then the second uncle and the old couple of the Yun family came to accompany them.
Although they are not Yun Jingning's own parents or grandparents, the status of the uncle is also here, and it is used to entertain the juniors of the Lin family, which is already a big face.
It is also the attitude of the Yun family to the Lin family, treating each other with grandeur.
The Yun family's own family, the old marquis led the second son and Yun Dayun Er and a few cousins and nephews, all of whom were helping to entertain guests, so many people stood up, and let outsiders see the attitude of the Yun family.
So, those rumors? Self-defeating.
Yun Jingning and Lin Yanniang saw that their father, mother, brothers and sisters were all seated, so they walked to a small open space above, where the piano table and piano bench had already been placed, and Lin Yanniang put the piano away.
"Friends and relatives!" Yun Jingning used a little internal force.
His voice was not in a hurry, but it just spread to the corners of the entire Wanshou Hall, so that all the people who were talking and chatting about the sky looked over.
"Today is the children's Yun Anhao 100-day banquet, thank you relatives and friends for taking the time to come, it is an honor for Yunfu, and it also makes the children's 100-day Peng shine, Yun Tianyao and his son Lin, thank you very much."
Yun Jingning said and clasped her fists, and Lin Yanniang also saluted with her hands.
The responses around came one after another, mostly saying that General Zhenbei was polite, Yun Xiaogongzi's heavenly resources, and so on.
Yun Jingning smiled, and then said: "Maybe someone already knows that a few days ago, Neizi stroked the qin for the emperor and queen in the middle palace, and the dragon heart was happy, and he gave the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting to show his appreciation. ”
"Today, on the day of the child An Hao, here Tianyao and Neiko will perform skills for all relatives and friends, in order to express their gratitude for your presence, and the right to help the fun."
The words are polite, but when the emperor is raised, it means to show off.
It's just that everyone is more interested, and it seems to have understood that the piano of the general's wife is the famous piano "Jiaoyang".
The sun is like fire, and its nature is pure.
I heard that when the emperor gave the qin, he once said that this qin is very suitable for the Lin family, could it be the evaluation of the Lin family?
It just so happened that the wine and food were not served, and everyone was ready to enjoy Lin's piano skills.
Soon, however, everyone was amazed.
Because it was Yun Jingning who sat down to stroke the qin, but Lin Yanniang stood beside him, turning a jasper bamboo flute out of her hand, and her posture was very free.
As soon as the piano sound came out, everyone's eyes were a little abrupt.
Because it is "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", the melodious and tactful sound of the piano is casually transmitted to all directions, and only in the middle of the song can the flute sound be harmonious, as if responding to this love.
Outsiders were surprised and intoxicated when they heard it, but the Yun family brothers looked at the pair with a smile on their faces.
After a song, Yun Jingning didn't explain anymore, and when he got up, he glanced at the guests who were gradually filling, and the father who came to the front with the child in his arms.
He took the flute, Lin Yanniang sat sideways in front of the piano, and this time she was the one to stroke the piano, but it was not Guan Shanyue and the mountains and flowing water that everyone had heard of, but the sunshine three stacks.
Yun Jingning responded with a flute from time to time, but he didn't play anything seriously, his posture was too leisurely, as if he was really just helping everyone.
The wine and food were soon delivered one after another, but everyone was so drunk that they forgot to serve the cup and forget to carry the chopsticks.
The women listened and compared, trying to find out from the nobles of Beijing who could overshadow the mountain woman in terms of piano skills, but no matter how much they thought and whispered, they could not find a suitable candidate.
Most of the people in the men's area are court ministers and family heads, all of them are scheming and knowledgeable, and they are not comparable to women, and they are thinking in their hearts at this time, this is really a mountain woman?
If you want to come to the emperor to support her, there must be the emperor's intentions, this woman is incredible, coupled with General Zhenbei's military exploits, holy grace, and family background, it is better not to offend.
Among the guests who came today, there was the emperor's grandson, and the emperor, the queen, and the prince all sent congratulatory gifts.
As the uncle of the emperor's grandson, the prince's cousin, the emperor's nephew, and the eldest princess's grandson, with such a strong backstage, only the lord of Huichun, who also has a strong backstage, dares to make trouble......
Although Lin Yanniang said that she was playing three songs to help the fun, she and Yun Jingning took turns to play together, and they had already exceeded the six songs, and they didn't stop until they were halfway drunk.
Yun Ji and Yun Xiao hurriedly stepped forward to put away the piano and flute, and Yun Jingning took Lin Yanniang to toast a glass of wine at each table, whether it was a men's table or a women's table, an elder or a junior, they all went over.
He also strongly announced to the public just now by showing his musical skills that his deep relationship between husband and wife is also known because of their matching, which is not something that others can crack with their family background.
Their music today is all leisurely and leisurely, and it is also to tell others that he is not a utilitarian person, so how can he use utilitarian temptation to force him?
Later, let people see clearly, his wife is a mountain woman, age, appearance, manners, and speech are no worse than half a point than the nobles in Beijing.
This idea has been shared before, and now it is shared with the world through action.
Yun Anhao's 100-day banquet turned out to be an opportunity for his father and mother to show their affection and show their strength, and Lin Yanniang was dignified, leisurely, and generous, which was enough to stand out from the crowd.
During their toast, another dancer entered the arena and danced in the aisles on both sides, and the musicians sat down where they had just been, and the music was melodious and the song and dance were level.
Because he was afraid of Yun Jingning's backstage, and also realized Yun Jingning's strong behavior of protecting his wife, during the whole banquet, no one dared to challenge the Lin family, not to mention the old general of the Yun family?
The banquet passed smoothly, and the people who got off the table first could continue to listen to the play, and the people who were still drinking pushed their glasses to make the cup very lively.
It's just that Yun Jingning's wine is fresh fruit wine, and there is no degree, Lin Yanniang's wine is directly jasmine tea.
Yun Jingning's reason is that he is injured, and he is still drinking medicine, and he can't drink alcohol to change his nature. Lin Yanniang is taking care of the children and can't drink.
The reason was so sufficient, no one dared to force them to drink, and they were curious about what kind of injury Yun Jingning's injuries were, but no one dared to open their mouths to prove it.
There is also gossip that General Zhenbei was beaten by the lord of Huichun County because he protected his wife, and the flesh and blood on his back were blurred, and even the emperor knew about it, and he was very angry.
The county lord of Huichun returned to the eldest princess's mansion for many days, but the Marquis of Yunjun was stunned and did not pick it up, so he did not appear at the 100-day banquet today.
It's just that no one dares to talk about these gossip in the military marquis's mansion.
